Abstract
A controller includes an extraction unit, an arrival time calculation unit, a departure time calculation unit, a stop location calculation unit and a transmission unit. The extraction unit extracts stop-scheduled vehicles, which are scheduled to stop in a stopping area. The arrival time calculation unit calculates arrival times when the stop-scheduled vehicles will arrive at the stopping area based at least on user-side information of users who use the stop-scheduled vehicles, or on position information of the stop-scheduled vehicles. The departure time calculation unit calculates a scheduled departure order indicating an order in which the stop-scheduled vehicles will depart the stopping area. The stop location calculation unit calculates stop locations of the stop-scheduled vehicles based on the scheduled departure order. The transmission unit transmits information indicating the stop locations to the stop-scheduled vehicles.
